Green Day @ Royal Hospital Kilmainham - 29 June 2017

Shane St.

Who's going?
Is there any seating for this? Or is it all standing?
Hoping to get a ticket but it is sold out from ticketmaster

Siouxie

It is all standing. You may get a ticket on Toutless.

Shane St.

Really looking forward to this. First gig in the RHK for me too, never been. Seen Greenday a couple of times now, always put on an AMAZING show. Good mix of new/old stuff too

Sorry to be picky but seems pretty lobsided towards American Idiot which I wasn't a big fan of(so the less I say about their newer material the better). Can understand a good batch off the latest album as that's what's being toured but 7 tracks of AI and none off Insomniac etc is hardly mixing things up.

No outside alchohol at all, not even water usually.

Heineken usually run these.. with carslberg and maybe orchard thieves.. 6€ a 'pint'

Wine for 6/7 a small bottle
Spirits usually 7 a shot

In all my years going to events I have never once got a plastic pint that I thought was less than a pint. Which I am guessing is why you use quotes. I hear this complaint all the time.

For anybody who gets pissed off over it I would suggest bringing a plastic pint home and confirming it for yourself.

The serving is usually less than a pint though, as they leave a little headroom and the top of plastic pints is a lot of volume per mm relative to glass pints as they are so wide. Cider can be to the brim.

Can't believe this has finally come around....seems like about 3 years since I bought the tickets.

Haven't been to a gig in Kilmainham before....I'm assuming it's on a grass surface (?)....any venue tips/advice/do's & don'ts welcome.

Looking forward to it either way...watching Glastonbury all weekend to get me in the mood

The weather in Ireland isn't good this week. Heavy rain to be expected. That has really **** on my buzz.

Shane St.

Thinking about driving up instead of the bus? Is there parking nearby??

Would I have to walk far to meet a taxi after the event? I'm staying in Liffey Valley

Yep there's parking at Smithfield with Parkrite €7 evening rate - bookable online in advance, it's only a short ride on the Luas from there (or a walkable distance if you are up for it!). That's what we're doing anyhoo.
